“nothing!” Jessica saw Ahn Woo-shi's mouth. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

“have_a_good_time。” An Yuxi opened his mouth again and pointed to the villa in the distance, the vocal cord damage was so bad that he couldn't even speak.

"Yes!" Jessica frowned slightly, pursed her lips and nodded, obviously not relieved, this kind of thing can be said anywhere!

Seeing Jessica's expression, An Yuxi didn't know what she was thinking, gently rubbed the little guy's head, and didn't say anything to comfort her, now it should be herself who needs to be comforted.

In addition to this Ferrari, there are two white covered electric sightseeing cars, two white Ford pickups, and four all-terrain vehicles in the garage that are covered by this horse.

An Yuxi glanced back at the sign on the front of the Ferrari, it was a horse, he suddenly remembered Lamborghini, and after thinking about it, he suddenly felt that if Ferrari was a running horse, then Lamborghini was a bull in heat.

After a long delay, in the end a few people decided to take a sightseeing bus up, by the way to see the scenery along the way, they were originally here for a vacation, this beautiful pastoral scenery is rare in reinforced concrete Seoul, Zheng's father and Zheng's mother are on leave to come on vacation, every year is so hard, of course, but also take time to rest.

From the airport to the villa on the top of the hill, there is a straight asphalt concrete road, and there is also a road to the outside world, because it is impossible to make wine from all the grapes here, and the surplus has to be sold, and it is impossible to transport it out by plane, which is too wasteful.

It takes about four kilometres from the airport to reach the villa on the hilltop over there.

The straight concrete road looks like a river in the green, and electric vehicles carry a family up and down.

Of course, the driver is An Yuxi, here is not the elder or his sister, he just happens to be in a position that is not embarrassing, this is also a matter of no way, a straight road, the car is driving as if it is climbing, because it is really sightseeing, it is almost the season of grape ripening, purple grapes have been hung with grape trellises, green are leaves, purple are grapes, full of seeds, fruitful, and gratifying.

California is full of vineyards, except for a few grapes for consumption, most of them are planted with small, thick-skinned, large-seeded grapes and low-flesh grapes.

The climate in Monterey County reflects the cooling effects of Monterey Bay and the lack of rainfall. There was plenty of warm weather to ripen, but the climate was largely influenced by the sea. It is precisely because of this cool growing climate that the planting cycle is longer and the grapes ripen more slowly, so the grape harvest in this region is generally two weeks later than in other regions. Steep slopes and rolling foothill hills provide good drainage, and soil temperatures in Monterrey are cooler than in other parts of California, limiting crop growth.

It was precisely because the speed of the car was like a snail crawling that even Jessica couldn't help but come over quickly to take over, An Yuxi pulled the little crystal and jumped out of the car, picked a bunch of grapes each, and then ran back to the car.

The grapes are red and white, and the grapes grown in the vineyards here are red, most of them are Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay, etc., and Father Ann said that the variety in their vineyard is called "Zinfandelle".

Speaking of "Zinfandelle", Father Ann said that the head is the Tao, it seems that he has done a lot of homework, maybe it is because of the name of the grape.

zinfandel, the Chinese translation name has its own characteristics, and the name of "Zinfandel" is the most beautiful and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. This variety is California's most unique red grape variety, and despite its origin in Europe, it is considered a California specialty. Zinfandel is an aromatic variety of red grape varieties, with a strong aroma, often with rich black and red berry flavors, and even a hint of jam, and the red wines made from it are very intense, dark in color, extremely high in alcohol, rich in tannins, and full in body. Rosé wine is sweeter and more acidic, and this wine happens to be Ann Yuxi's favorite, sweet and sour, if you add a little ice, it's simply the best!

Zinfandel is ideal for growing in California's warm, not hot, climate.

The grapes are hardy and grow in large clusters, but sometimes they ripen at different rates and are high in sugar. Most Zinfandel is made into full-bodied, full-bodied red wines that can contain more than 15% alcohol. Zinfandel can also be left unpicked after the harvest season and allowed to continue to grow and mature, so that a wine can be made that is both sweet and intense. A handful of winemakers even use these ripe grapes to make Zinfandel of the Port type, which is a fortified wine with a higher alcohol concentration.

Zinfandel is mainly used to produce general table wines and semi-sweet liquors or even sparkling wines. However, if planted on cooler gravel slopes, a small yield and a long soaking process can produce high-quality, long-lasting red wines with rich floral and fruity aromas, and a variety of spices after aging.

However, some wine critics tend to be dismissive of Zinfandel because they see Zinfandel as an "alcohol bomb" with too strong berry flavors, and rosé made from it is cheap and gruesomely sweet.

Others say that Zinfandel isn't really a wine — that is, it's not a wine with a complex taste, unlike California's premium Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay, which have been the subject of long-standing debate.

Although it is considered by some, its charm lies in its versatility – the grape can be used to make different kinds of wine, from rosé to red to port. Since it's not popular with wine critics, it's much cheaper, even for high-end Zinfandel.

But there is no doubt that the older the plant, the better the fruit, and that a high-quality grape means a good wine, but it seems too early for this young vineyard.

"Poof~" As soon as Jessica was fed a grape, she spit out the grapes, her little face wrinkled together, and she stuck out her tongue and fanned the wind, "It's so sour!" ”

"Hahaha!" Because Zinfandel itself is a grape variety with an inconsistent ripening time, the same bunch of grapes may be partially ripe, while some are still waiting for time. By the time all the grapes were ripe, the prematurely ripened grains had partially dehydrated and become extraordinarily sweet.

It's just that if you eat it now, there are still a lot of uncooked ones, although they are already purple, but they have just eaten a ripe and very sweet one, and they will feel sour when they eat this kind again.

"Yikes!" Someone else has eaten it.

"Hahaha."

Along the way, the jingling of bells and laughter, through the meadows, through the vineyards, through a grove, and through an iron gate, you will come to the heart of the estate, and at the entrance is a white marble fountain, and the garden, which is a large white Victorian white villa.

It's kind of like a castle.

When they arrived, the airport staff drove the luggage in a pickup truck, and it seemed that there was quite a lot.

Father An took An Yuxi and his party to visit the residence, and then came to the swimming pool on the first floor, about 100 square meters in size, this is a fully enclosed glass house, the sun has sunshine, the rain has shelter, and the three women who have come over have already changed into swimsuits.

Mother Ann and Mother Zheng are wearing the same style of swimsuit, not a three-point bikini! It's a little conservative, but it's very demure.

If it were his wife, An Yuxi would never let others take a second look!

But the one who was swimming around in the pool... Wearing a pink three-point style, he got out of the water, the water droplets scattered, and flowed down the beautiful curve, like a mermaid, An Yuxi didn't control his eyes, looked at it twice, and then turned his head, this kind of stimulation, can't hurt it at all!

Taking a deep breath, Ahn Woo-seo decided to make lunch...

At this time, Xiao Jing had already taken off his shoes and jumped into the water with a "poof", although the climate in Monterey County is relatively mild, but where will it not be hot in summer? The water is definitely the best place to cool off, just don't soak it for too long.

When An Yuxi came over to call them to eat after cooking, he suddenly remembered that he couldn't speak, at this time, Xiao Jing had changed into a newly bought girl's blue spotted one-piece swimsuit, and was spraying each other with a water gun with Han Shengmei, having a lot of fun, Jessica wore a knitted hat like two mothers, under the sun umbrella, lying on the recliner to read magazines, and drinking juice with ice from time to time, which was very relaxing.

After seeing An Yuxi, Xiao Jing's eyes lit up, and he immediately aimed his gun at An Yuxi, and a column of water directly hit An Yuxi's front door.

"Yikes!" If An Yuxi could speak, it would definitely be this word.

I don't know when Han Shengmei has gone around behind An Yuxi, and then kicked An Yuxi into the water while he was unprepared.

"Poof!"

"... An Yuxi, who was speechless, wiped a handful of water from his face, and could only be speechless.

"Zi", and then another column of water hit his face, looking at the little crystal laughing, An Yuxi smiled speechlessly, and finally pounced on the little crystal, the tiger is not powerful, I am Pooh!

"Hahaha...

Lunch was a sweet red wine made from steak and Zinfandel, as well as tomatoes picked at the farmstead, some greens, and of course, cooked.

After Xiao Jing drank three glasses of red wine, her little face was already red, and her face seemed to be still steaming, okay, Jessica is the same, there is no way, although it is very sweet and delicious, this kind of wine is also very easy to get started, and this is not An Yuxi's own grape juice drink.

After the two little ones finished eating, they went to take a nap gorgeously
